We're a design-led digital studio based in Sydney. We combine thoughtful UX, clean code, and flexible delivery to build websites and digital products that work properly and look the part.
Who We Are
Crafted by designers who code (and coders who design).
We're a senior-led studio that works across the full project lifecycle, from UX strategy through to full-stack implementation. We collaborate closely with internal teams, focus on maintainable work, and build things that last.
Ben Russell
Co-founder, Technical Director Full-Stack Developer
Ben leads the technical direction of our projects, with a strong focus on performance, maintainability, and well-structured systems. He specialises in solving complex technical problems and building solid foundations that hold up over time.
James Love
Co-founder, Creative Director UX/UI Designer / Front End Dev.
James leads UX, interface design, and front-end implementation across our projects. His background across both design and front-end development allows him to bridge strategy and execution, ensuring design decisions hold up in real-world implementation.
The Way We Work
Clear principles. Reliable process. Personal delivery.
We work as an extension of your team, from first conversation through to post-launch support, with a process built around clarity, flexibility, and getting things done properly.
Discovery First
We start by listening. Every project begins with a thorough look at your goals, challenges, and audience, so every decision has a clear reason behind it.
Agile, Adaptable Process
We move fast, stay responsive to change, and keep things lean so we can deliver results without unnecessary overhead.
Platform Expertise
We’re WordPress specialists, not tied to one platform, focused on fast, secure systems that are easy to manage.
Designed for Real Users
We design for real users, balancing usability, accessibility, and clarity to create interfaces that are easy to understand and navigate.
Local Collaboration
Work with a local Australian team that brings clarity, reliability, and a collaborative approach tailored to your project needs.
Support Beyond Launch
Our relationship doesn't end at handover. We offer ongoing support, updates, and guidance to keep your site secure and well maintained.
The team have been a fantastic partner, supporting our websites.

Philip Lau
Senior Marketing Manager, Digital @ Domain
Checkpoint have been consistently responsive, patient, and clear in explaining technical details in a way that’s easy to understand. It genuinely feels like working with an internal team rather than an external vendor.

I had a fantastic experience. They were able to nail our branding on the first round and with minimal website changes needed. The end result was a website that I’m truly proud of and can easily make changes and updates in-house.

Their ability to work with multiple different financial data service providers to feed into our website has created a robust platform for our stakeholders. We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of web design and development.
